First off, I was not expecting this form section for wow to exist in Spiceworks and I’m rather excited that it is here.

I started playing about 4 months before BC came out and have been a hardcore raider ever since. Over the years school came and went, and now all I do is work full time. I go home and try to play but I'm just to exhausted from work to do a hard core raid.
So after doing some searching and a few transfers later. I've settled down as a Pre-BC addict with several level 60 capped toons and accounts.

I've tried setting up threads on the forms to get some constructive spec/stat/misc. conversations going but it always leads to a 3-4 page long hate fest at people who like to stay at lower levels.

Does anyone else share my interest? If so what are your views / preferences at the 60 bracket!

I only see the 60 bracket for a week before I move on to 70 then 80. I'll tell you what, my 80 gnome frost mage can really control a crowd while a DPS goes crazy. I have a 80 warrior I roll with and we usually end up pinning a group in the graveyard in BGs and workin em for all they have, lol.

Yeah, those same situations happen in the 60 bracket as well. I have an 80 and some 70's but I like the level 60 content more. Something about it just has me snagged you know the whole "WoW Factor" thing that is so addicting... lol

How often do you see the summon bosses in AV, or see someone call in the Air support that owns faces in the Feild of Streif? End game brackets never last long, it seems to allways be just one big Zerg.. Then eventually someone runs out of reinforcements during hte turtle then its game over.

And if your looking for the thrill of just wrecking people roll a 60 retadin... The only time you die is when your get over run (in otherwords at least 8+ people on you (BTW average level player in the 60 AV bracket is about 56-57 at which time they ahve their powerfull abilities that still pose a large threat but they dont have the power to back it up. Get a good wep and at least 1100 AP with 350+ SP and 27%+ crit raiting and at least 45 hit (50 is cap) and well your practicly a tank and can solo almost all the lvl 60 instances.

I remember when my pally was moving toward 60, the BGs were definitely fun with him. I don't feel like I roll any less face at 80 then I did at 60 with him. I honestly don't even play pallies anymore, at least not until they nerf the hell out of them again, because they are just so damn beefy. When you're rocking 30K+ hp and regen it all at the drop of a dime, it doesn't really matter how hard you hit, because you're gonna take damn near anyone out before they touch you. Also, at 80 I don't see many other Pallys. Maybe cause they are all hangin at 60, lol.

They are at 60... Lol look me up "Dodacancan" in a "Bad" game of AV i go about 20+ and maybe 4-6 deaths max.. a "Decent Game" maybe 35-4 and when I go with my guild it is very easy to hit 45+ and have 1-2 deaths max. Its a just pure fun!!!!!!!!

Now that T3 is out of the question when rocking out in full T2.5 as I am, the only thing that ever reallys gives me a problem are those (Censored) DK's... I hate that class with a passion so large its not able to be contained.. They start with a bunch of blues that can compete with an epic'd out 60 and half the time they can win. If i dont have HoJ or repentence ready to use when facing one of the lvl 60 DK's its very easy to die.. When they get a good wep they are assholes flat out.. Other than that the only thing thats hard to do is deal with other twinks. You ovbiously never see a Pally on the horde side so you only need to look out for the geared T2.5 warriors or the enhancement/resto/ele shamans in the pvp set.

As long as you know what your doing a pally can roll face.. but when you REALLY know what your doing a good 60 pally can easily hold of about 15 people for a good 3-4 min without doing a bubble (this would be in a situationw hen guarding a tower or a flag anywhere where you can put some LoS to some good.

It's also impossable for hunters to really kite us, if we have a stun its game over.. If not jsut run at them while targeting there pet and get a bunch of free AoW + FoL going and its a winners game.

While doing all that is fun, it's also rather tedious after a while b.c your OP and you and everyone around you knows it. I have other classes like a priest with 500 SP that can really mess things up if no one notices me. And when you gear up a hunter you allways can top the KB chart. At lvl 60 well at all levels they are kill stealers..

The part that keeps me most interested in the level 60 bracket is the raiding!!!
I might actually be quitting the game come November when the expansion is released and they move Molten Core and BWL to the new cap lvl (I think lvl 85?).. After that all that is left is AQ20 & AQ40 which is where the gear you really want is located at but still the other raids are just plain fun! Also it makes you feel super leet when you practicly solo Strat and make a bunch of other leveling players very happy with all the new gear they just got for doing next to nothing for 20 min. Pluss you get to give them a fun show and lawl at how they drool over your gear. (Thats prob the best part) =]

The only thing I can say on stats/specs for L60 toons is, that I understand it´s not quite fun running around with them. The whole contect is dedicated to Level 80 chars and so Blizz has lost the touch for content lower than northrend.

So, talking about stats for Level 60 will lead to nowhere, because the stat system is not really working porperly anymore on a level under 70.

Cheryl, True there will be a while new world to explore... But when you like something how it is why change it? I've been doing it for a few years hardcore and I still love it. I enjoy the "classic" feeling of it when i group with 15-20 other level 60's and pwn Molten Core..

Also, think of it like this.. Some people will pay thousands of gold for a simple BoE pet like a firefly or some dragon. Why? Because its a vanity item.. It serves no purpose other than to give you a very small amount of bragging rights and the thirll of your that much closer to having all of them. Well apply the same thing to lets say all the different faction reputations/T1-2.5/Rep Sets/Hand of Rag/Thunderfury and so on... Well my level 60 is my "Vanity Pet" serves no purpose other than entertainment and I get to pwn some ass in the BG's..

True Blizzard no longer really looks at anything below Northrend, and thats for a simple reason.. It dosn't need to be looked at. At one point in time if you recal, it was end game content.. they perfected it.

ImBaAdmin, for the most point you are dead on with that.. but also your not. To a small degree, stats make up everything for pvp when in WSG and AB as a lvl 60. While playing others who are as high of a level as lvl 69 it gets crazy... If your not geared enough you will get stompped.. If your dont have enough hit/haste/stam/crit/sp and so on certain classes you cant even touch because you miss all your hits. You would need to stack hit/expertice just to hit these players.. And once you stack that, your left with weaker "other" stats. Then you need to decide, well now that I have 400 SP instead of 500 my heals wont rape anymore, soo lets get a little more crit and maybe some stam? Or maybe replace some actual other stats with pure Stam and force them to have to Zerg you because your heals keep critting and you have enough crit/stam to stay alive.
then boom pop seal of light and have kings on yourself then you can survive and excell against maybe 2-3 lvl 66-68's.... There are still a decent amount of stats/specs that you need to look into as limited as they may be...

Ruan, I do have an 80 atm. Its a resto shaman. ^.^ (which also explains why i enjoy going 40-1 in AV on my twink b.c well you cant do that on any resto shaman lol

Don´t know. During my level up I thought more than once that the game mechanic i´s not working properly anymore if you are not at least level 70 and you can go to northrend. Just my subjective opinion. OK, saying this I mean this is the case if you are on your own leveling all the way up and you don´t have a main char to sponsor some things like epic flight and/or decent gear. In most cases you won´t find enough people to do low level instances to find/farm decent level gear, so you have to go on with your quest rewards.

I see where your coming from on that perspective but its also a matter of developing a umm "quantity" of patience. lol.. Depending on the class you play the Q times for randoms is actually really nice. As a class that can tank/heal wait time is almost not existant. For dps its anywhere in the 15-20 min range. sometimes as low as the single digets but that is at only certain hours of the day on certain days I.E. Mid afternoon/Late saturday and friday night.

In regards to the whole "sponsor" the gold needs of these toons. My twink the 60 pally "Dodacancan" is litterly the only toon I have on that server. I leveled to 60 with a RaF partner who quit the game when we got the toons to 54 because he got deported (no joke). I farmed the gold needed for every enchant/item/mount any items I have on that toon where funded 100% by that toon. BTW that toon hit lvl 60 in I think October of last year?? I think that speaks for itself =P People where farming mass amounts of gold back then and its still very possable to farm more gold than some level 80's can. In fact some of the top gold farmers in the world never leave the AH because they have everything they need to makes thousands of gold right there. (this is what I do along with some actual mob grinding from time to time)
